Hi, First I want to say great guide! Everything has worked perfectly to get things loaded up on my vWii. Kudos!
To start things off, I am coming from a Wii that I've been using for a few years and running everything off of a WD My Passport and using Configurable USB Loader. I made the assumption I would be able to just use the same hardware and setup just moved over to vWii. For the most part that assumption has worked out. The only problem I am having is that the Passport doesn't get enough power, as expected. I bought a USB Y cable, but I'm not happy with it, so I have another on order as well as a Toshiba drive that will hopefully work better.
Despite all this, I have another question about using USB Loader GX. When attempting to "install" a game, it was working but I was having issues due to the low power. The drive would spin up, copy some data over, and stop, and continue that cycle. This was going to take a LONG time, so I stopped it (I had to power down since `cancel` did not work). After getting the first Y cable I tried the install again. This time the game install started, but is still sitting at 0% and is not moving any data over. I assumed this was a crappy cable, so I went back to the original where the transfer was working, but the power just wasn't enough, but now I'm getting the same thing with that cable too. I also tried to remove the game directory from the drive directly, but install just won't start. I'll try all this again once I get the new drive and cable, but is there something that I am missing. Using the same hardware that was working is not working. What am I missing?
Thank you.
